Morgon La Voute Saint Vincent Domaine Louis et Claude Desvignes 2023

The 2023 Morgon "La Voûte Saint-Vincent" is a blend of parcels from the north of the appellation, presenting a slightly closed nose with tightly wound red fruit. The palate, however, is more expressive, featuring grainy tannins, sapid red fruit, and a hint of orange rind leading to a linear finish. While it comes across as a bit “grumpier” than other cuvées from this producer, it will benefit from a couple of years in bottle to reveal its full potential. A structured and promising wine for patient enthusiasts.

Domaine Desvignes, rooted in the heart of Morgon’s Côte du Py, is a family estate with over eight generations of winemaking tradition. Founded by the spirited Louis-Claude Desvignes, the domaine is now led by his children, Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît, who have embraced organic certification and estate-bottling while honoring their father’s commitment to quality. Known for their expressive, age-worthy wines, particularly from the renowned Javernières and Côte du Py vineyards, Desvignes’ Morgon cuvées evolve from vibrant dark fruit in youth to complex, earthy tones with age, showcasing the true potential of Cru Beaujolais.
